Antony and Cleopatra Characters

Lamprius, the Soothsayer is, like the best of his kind, an enigmatic character.

Reading the palms of Charmian and Iras, she correctly divines their futures, though what he tells them is so oddly phrased that the actual circumstances yet to come cannot be worked out. He follows Antony to Rome, but recommends he return to Egypt, as Antony’s “better angel” becomes weak in Caesar’s presence.
